4 Claims.

This invention relates to a sleeping garment, more particularly to thetrousers of pajamas.

In they use of pajama trousers of a sleeping garment it has beenfrequently experienced that the body of the wearer in twisting in bedmoves with relation to the sleeping garment and the sleeping garmenttwists so as to bind and draw across the body and become uncomfortable.

One of the objects of this invention is to construct the trouser portionof pajamas so that they will not twist and bind upon the body due tomovement in bed.

Another object of this invention is to provide the body portion of thegarment about the waist and thighs snug while leaving the leg coveringportion of the garment loose for comfort of the wearer.

With these and other objects in view, the invention consists of certainnovel features of construction, as will be more fully described andparticularly pointed out in the appended claims.

Fig. 1 is a front View of the trousers portion of a garment;

Fig. 2 is a rear View of the trousers portion of a sleeping garment;

Fig. 3 is a front portion of a modied form of garment with respect tothat which is shown in Figs. 1 and 2.

In proceeding with this invention I provide the body portion of thetrousers of pajamas or sleeping garments snug about the waist and thighsleaving the leg portions loose so that the same will not bind upon thelegs of the wearer. In order to provide the portions snug about theportion of the body which it is desired they should fit about, I providesome elastic material or insert to draw the body portion so as toclosely t the body.

With reference to the drawings I designates generally the trousersportion of pajamas including a body portion I I and trousers portion I 2which as illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2 are formed oi some woven fabricwhich is relatively inextendible in the direction of itsilength orwidth. A certain fullness I3 is provided about the waist and thighs andin order to draw this body portion II snug about the waist and thighs Ihave inserted an elastic material designated generally III and usuallyformed of some knitted fabric which will be elastically extendible andcontractible. This insert I 4 extends from the front down through thecrotch and up the other side as at i of its fabricated construction suchas knit material I may use a woven rubber material which Anv . 2 willhave elasticity in the directions desired.

In some cases instead of providing some portion of the body of thesleeping garment about the Waist and thigh of a Woven material I mayprovide, asshown in Fig. 3 at I'I, the entire body portion about thewaist and thighs of knitted material so as to hug snugly this portion ofthe wearer. In this case the leg portions I8 which are sewed on as at I9to the body will be of woven material and will be of a sufficientdimension to be loose about the legsof the wearer and not bind thereon.

By reason of having the body portions of the sleeping garments snugabout the waist and thighs of the wearer this portion which usuallyslides upon the wearer and becomes twisted will move with the wearer andwill not twist. Consequently there will beno binding ordrawing of thefabric across the wearer to become uncomfortable on him. At the sametime by utilizing the leg portions of woven material these may be madeloose and comfortable on the body.

I claim:

1. In a sleeping garment, a body portion having sections extending fromthe waist to the crotch about the hips with at least one section of saidbody portion formed of elastically extendible material to draw all ofsaid sections snug about the waist and hips of the wearer, and legportions extending from the body portion of non-elastic material and ofa size to be loose on the limbs of the wearer.

2. In a sleeping garment as set forth in claim 1 wherein said legportions are of Woven material.

3. In a sleeping garment as set forth in claim 1 wherein saidelastically extendible material is knitted material.

4. In a sleeping garment as set forth in claim 1 wherein saidelastically extendible material is knitted material and said legportions are woven material.
